CAUTION
Risks associated with using a pedelec

manual should be observed for it to be used in safety.
Staying focused while riding, and not underestimating the residual risks involved in using a pedelec, are extremely impor-
tant.
CAUTION
Responsibility
The rider is required to use the electrically power assisted cycle with utmost diligence and in full compliance with the road
regulations and all cycling rules in force in the country of use.
It is important to bear in mind that when out in a public space or on the road, even when the instructions in the manual are
observed to the letter, the rider is not immune to injury caused by infractions or inappropriate actions taken towards other
vehicles, obstacles or persons. Misuse of the item or non-compliance with the instructions provided in this manual may
cause severe injury.
Riders must also ensure that the electrically power assisted cycle is kept clean, in perfect working order and serviced. They
must diligently carry out the safety checks which are their responsibility, as well as preserve all the documentation about
product maintenance.
Riders must carefully assess any weather conditions which could make it potentially dangerous to use the electrically power
assisted cycle.
This product is a vehicle, therefore, the faster is it goes, the longer the braking distance required. We, therefore, recommend
moderating your speed and maintaining an adequate braking distance if you are riding in adverse weather conditions and/
or heavy traffic.
The braking distance increases on wet, slippery, muddy or icy roads and the tyre grip decreases significantly with the risk of
the wheels skidding and loss of balance compared to dry roads.
It is, therefore, essential to ride the bike with greater care, maintain a suitable speed and safety distance from other vehicles
or pedestrians.
Take extra care when riding on unfamiliar roads.
For your safety, we recommend wearing suitable protective equipment (helmet, knee and elbow pads) to protect yourself
from any falls or injuries while riding the bike. When allowing others to use the bike, ensure that the rider wears the safety
equipment and explain how to operate the vehicle. To avoid injury, do not allow other persons to use the item if they do not
know how to use it.
Wear shoes before using the item.
The bike has been designed to allow the load of a maximum overall weight (rider and any load being carried) that does not
exceed the value indicated in the product data sheet.
Avoid using the product, under all circumstances, if the total load transported exceeds the recommended weight to avoid the
risk of damaging the integrity of the structural and electronic components of the bike.
The electrically power assisted cycle (EPAC), as specified in the provisions of the current reference standard EN 15194, is a
means of transport intended to transport one person only.
The transport of a passenger is only permitted within the framework of the regulations in force in the country where it is
ridden regarding: the minimum age of the rider, maximum age of the passenger transported, provision of legally approved
and authorised passenger transport devices.
